One Small World. I didn’t expect to find a piece of Cape Town hidden inside Berlin… until I ended up at a Michelin-star restaurant tucked down a back alley.

Cookies Cream () feels like one of those Cape Town spots you only discover through friends, a little mysterious on the outside, full of warmth and creativity on the inside. A hidden door, a bell, a bar downstairs… and then suddenly you’re upstairs tasting dishes that are playful, refined, and surprisingly nostalgic.

But what really reminded me of home wasn’t just the restaurant; it was Berlin’s entire food scene.
Kebabs at midnight, bratwurst at the markets, Italian pasta made in front of you, curries rich with spice, street food from every corner of the world… It’s the same multicultural energy that makes Cape Town’s food culture so special.

Exploring it all with and made it even better, three creators from three continents sharing flavours that somehow feel familiar in a completely new city.
Berlin really does bring the world together, one meal at a time.

Which bite feels the most Cape Town to you? 👀
